    Weekly Nail

    by Kaylah Stroup February 24, 2013

    Supplies used…
    Sally Hansen Right Said Red
    Essie Meet Me At Sunset
    Essie Fear or Desire
    Zoya Pippa
    American Apparel Crescent Heights
    Funky Fingers Mint Mountain
    Zoya Wednesday
    Sally Hansen The Sky’s the Limit
    Funky Fingers Volt
    L’oreal After Hours
    Reinforcement Labels
    Seche Vite as a top coat

    Phew! That’s a long list of colors! Rainbow nails just seemed like the right thing to do though. These turned out even prettier than I had imagined they would while picking out all the colors. A bit childish or not – I really love them! Sometimes it’s nice to just go crazy with color.

    Hope you’re having a lovely Sunday!
    xoxo
